MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1755 1755: You Have to Be Proactive

"I..."

Upon hearing Hermit's words, Wang Yu felt a whirlwind of emotions in his heart.

Damn it, this game designer is truly ruthless; the quest was already disgusting enough, and now there's such a big pitfall at the final stage.

If he fell into this trap, not only would the original rewards be halved, but even the rewards he had already earned would have to be returned. Such behavior is utterly shameless.

Fortunately, Wang Yu had always believed in Hermit's character and knew that this old man was a person of very poor morals; otherwise, his effort in this quest would have been in vain.

...

"Alright! Now it's your reward!"

Just as Wang Yu was shocked by the shamelessness of the designer, Hermit waved his hand, and a beam of white light descended. Wang Yu received another system prompt.

You have completed the final test of the Martial God; task completion rate 100%, you can receive 100% of the rewards for this task.

You have gained experience...

You have gained reputation...

You have gained faction honor...

A series of data flashed before Wang Yu's eyes.

The Martial God's responsibility is a level 75 storyline, and as a double S-level quest chain, the experience rewards alone are incredibly rich.

"Zing! Zing!"

Two beams of golden light shone on Wang Yu, and his level jumped directly to 72.9, just a hair away from reaching level 73.

At this time, when the average player level is still around 60, and top-tier players hover around level 65, Wang Yu's current level can be said to be exceptional.

After all, before this, the highest level in the entire game was only 69, and other top players, seeing Wang Yu's not-so-far level, still hoped to surpass him.

In such a short time, Wang Yu had taken a big leap and left other players far behind.

"Is that all?" After glancing at his level, Wang Yu reached out his hand toward Hermit.

"??"

Hermit tilted his head, appearing confused.

"Don't play dumb!" Wang Yu said irritably, "I risked my life to complete this quest, you're not just going to give me this little bit of experience, are you?"

To be honest, even if this quest leveled him up by three levels, Wang Yu would only get a few extra attribute points. For players whose gear was already well-developed at this stage, those points were practically negligible. If a double S-level quest chain only provided experience, that would be a bit too much.

"Hehe!" Hermit grinned shamelessly, "I thought you wouldn't want it."

As he spoke, Hermit handed Wang Yu two books.

"Flying Mount Technique": Rare skill, learn to use flying mounts after use.

Item description: The proud work of Beast Master Mordor, the top riding technique that allows one to control flying mounts.

Required Profession: All.

Usage Level: 70.

"Flame Blade": Ancient skill, learn the ancient skill "Flame Blade" after use.

Item description: The Martial God's most proud palm technique, attacks targets using internal force as a blade, unbreakable and domineering, only martial arts experts who excel in both internal and external training can learn it.

Required Profession: Martial Artist.

Usage Level: 70.

At any phase of the game, flying is the most irresistible temptation for players.

Not only because of the feeling of looking down on everything from above, but more so because flying offers better mobility than walking. It can be said to be the ultimate tool for escaping and traveling.

For example, to cross a mountain, walking might take half an hour, but flying would only require a moment to bypass obstacles, saving not just time but also some in-game currency...

Currently, players could only fly using flying spells or cloaks, both of which had consumption costs. Not only were there very few players who could fly, but those who could travel long distances like Wang Yu were even rarer. Compared to mounts with zero consumption, it was incomparable.

Thus, the value of this "Flying Mount Technique" is clear.

Of course, as a martial artist, Wang Yu's mount is Qing Gong skill, so the flying mount technique isn't particularly useful for him; he could only sell it. However, the other book, "Flame Blade", is quite useful for Wang Yu.

As a master of martial arts, Wang Yu excels in both fists and kicks. Unfortunately, in the game, compared to his kicking skills, the skills he has for his fists are rather pitiful. Aside from the Dominant Heaven Fist Dance, he basically has no big moves...

Although the Mountain Smasher and Twin Dragons Break output are very powerful, Wang Yu comes from a martial arts background and is accustomed to close combat, so he isn't particularly fond of ranged skills. Thus, he rarely uses such skills. Now, with the Flame Blade, it fills the gap in his fist skills.

Overall, the value of these two books is worth the effort Wang Yu put into this quest.

"Can't you come up with something different? You do this every time; aren't you ashamed?"

After taking the two books, Wang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This hermit has consistently used the same trick for quest rewards, and after being tricked so many times, Wang Yu feels like the old man sees him as a fool.

Hermit laughed, "What do you know! A hundred tricks for fighting can't compare to me using one trick a hundred times!"

"???"

Wang Yu was taken aback; why does this sound so familiar? Sure enough, shameless people everywhere are all the same.

"I'm doing this for your own good", Hermit lectured Wang Yu earnestly, "Reality is like this; many things won't be given to you unless you actively seek them. Our duty is to help you 'grow happily' amidst gains and losses!"

"So, are you saying I should thank you for tricking me out of my rewards?" Wang Yu was truly exasperated with this old man, who speaks about shamelessness so refreshingly.

"Of course", Hermit stroked his beard contentedly, "That's what a elder should do!"

This shamelessness is truly impressive.

Wang Yu couldn't be bothered to engage in idle talk with the old man. After receiving the quest rewards, he turned to leave but suddenly stopped when he reached the alleyway.

"Oh? Why are you back again?"

Seeing Wang Yu turn around, Hermit raised an eyebrow and asked nervously.

Wang Yu frowned, sizing up Hermit before tentatively asking, "Are there any other rewards for this quest?"

Hermit was momentarily taken aback by Wang Yu's question and then nodded confidently, "Yes!"

"Damn! I knew it!" Wang Yu exclaimed, "You issue quest rewards and still keep half for yourself?"

"You didn't say I had to give you everything; I mentioned before that rewards like this need to be requested. If you ask, I will give it to you... If you don't ask, I won't force it on you." Hermit smiled like an old fox.

"You're ruthless!"

Wang Yu couldn't help but give Hermit a thumbs-up.

Fortunately, when Wang Yu left, he carefully pondered Hermit's words, or else he would have been played by the system again.
